make_super_gaussian_aperture

hcipy.aperture.make_super_gaussian_aperture(full_width_half_maximum, shape_parameter=5, center=None)

Make a super Guassian aperture.

Parameters:

full_width_half_maximumscalar

The Full Width Half Maximum of the super Gaussian.

shape_parameterscalar

The shape parameter determines the exponential Gaussian fall off. p=1 is identical to a normal Gaussian and p=0.5 results in a Laplacian distribution.

Returns:

Field generator

The super Gaussian aperture.
